A
Good
evening
this
is
a
neighborhood
advisory
committee
meeting,
which
is
January
23rd
2023
from
6
to
7
30
in
person.
At
the
first
floor,
North
conference
room
at
City
Hall,
you
can
live
stream
on
the
city's
YouTube
channel
I
would
not.
My
name
is
bobbette
Mays
and
I.
Am
the
chair
and
I
represent
2803
and
28704
I?
Will
let
the
other
members
that
are
here
introduce
themselves
and
tell
you
what
area
code
that
they
represent.
A
So
we're
glad
we
have
a
quorum,
we
can
begin
our
meeting,
as
of
this
point,
has
I
hope
that
everyone
has
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
approval
of
the
draft
minutes
from
November
the
28th.
Are
there
any
questions
or
concerns
about
that
draft?
Everyone
is
fine
with
that.
E
A
A
Do
you
have
any
additions,
any
questions
or
anything
that
that
you
would
like
to
refer
to
that
or
any
changes.
A
F
Thank
you,
chair,
Hyde
committee,
nice
to
see
you
all.
Dao
is
under
the
weather
this
evening,
so
she's
not
able
to
join
us,
so
I'm
gonna
fill
in
for
her
and
the
first
thing
before
I
get
started
on.
Any
updates
is
just
to
notify
everyone
that
we've
had
three
folks
since
our
last
Knack
meeting
hop
off
the
committee,
Lucius
Wilson,
Carl,
Knight
and
Mike
wasmer,
and
so
the
city
clerk's
office
is
aware
of
that,
and
they
are
advertising
to
get
applicants
to
fill
those
seats
and
so
just
wanted
to.
F
F
Think
the
first
thing
I
wanted
to
say
was
that
Neighborhood
Services
was
able
to
reach
out
directly
to
our
contacts
in
neighborhoods,
and
that
was
a
really
great
thing
to
have
established
relationships
with
leaders
and
connectors
in
our
neighborhoods
to
help
us
share
accurate,
timely
information
about
the
outage
to
receive
information
about
what
was
going
on
from
Neighbors
and
also
to
talk
about
how
we
could
distribute
water
and
resources.
So
I
really
want
to
thank
Meredith
friedheim,
our
neighborhood
services
coordinator,
she's
on
sorry,
Neighborhood,
Services,
specialist
she's
on
Parental
leave
and
she's.
F
Doing
really
well
so
she'll
be
back
in
a
couple
months,
but
she
she
did
some
great
work
there
and
also
you
know
are-
are
posting
on
Nextdoor.
We
were
really
able
to
see
traction
with
that
being
shared
widely,
so
really
I,
just
kind
of
want
to
thank
people
who
were
paying
attention
to
what
the
city
was
posting,
seeing
that
their
neighbors
had
questions
on
Facebook
on
Nextdoor
I
mean
I
saw
a
lot
of
people
sharing
information
that
the
city
was
putting
out,
and
it
was
just
so
so
helpful.
F
So
neighborhoods
play
a
huge
part
in
City
operations.
Planning
for
emergencies
and
I
know
that
Knack
has
that
as
a
goal
that
you
all
want
to
go
further
with
this
year
and
and
sort
of
helping
to
coordinate
that
with
your
neighborhoods
and
your
contacts.
So
the
thing
that
I
also
wanted
to
mention
before
I
was
done
was
just
the
Asheville
alert
system.
F
This
is
a
really
important
service
that
we
want
everyone
in
the
city
of
Asheville
to
be
signed
up
for
Asheville
alerts
and
for
anyone
who
is
watching
or
listening
to
the
recording,
there's
a
misconception
that
you
have
to
be
signed
up.
You
have
to
be
the
person
on
the
water
bill
to
be
signed
up
for
Asheville
alerts.
That
is
not
the
case.
Anybody
can
sign
up.
So
you
can
go
to
our
website.
Asheville
nc.gov,
slash,
AVL
alert,
just
type
that
into
your
web
browser
it'll.
F
Take
you
to
the
page
where
you
can
put
in
your
information
and
sign
up
and
then
you'll
start
receiving
the
alerts.
So
there
are
certain
neighborhoods
I
know
like
we
can
they.
They
have
like
a
Welcome
Wagon
group
that
welcomes
new
people
to
the
neighborhood
and
I'm
sure
they're,
not
the
only
neighborhood,
that's
activated
in
that
way,
but
as
you're
you're
working
in
community
I
think
it's
really
that's
a
really
important
resource
to
make
people
aware
of,
and
we
saw
the
numbers
of
people
during
the
water
outage.
F
A
lot
of
people
signed
up
for
abl
alerts
during
the
outage,
which
was
wonderful,
but
we
we
still
heard
back
from
the
community
that
not
everybody
knows
about
that
resource.
So
that's
a
really
important
one,
because
that's
direct
timely
of
the
moment
information
when
we
really
need
to
contact
people
and
let
them
know
what's
going
on
so
your
help
with
that
is
most
appreciated.
And
the
last
thing
I'm
going
to
say
is
that
there's
a
few
handouts
and
things
over
on
the
end
of
the
table.
F
I
went
to
a
regular
meeting
that
I
go
to
with
the
Buncombe
County
public
engagement
Alliance,
and
it's
just
a
gathering
of
lot
of
non-profits
city
and
Buncombe
County
folks,
sharing
information
and
resources
and
there's
some
helpful
things
over
there.
Just
pick
things
up.
If
you
have
a
bulletin
board,
you
like
to
put
things
on
or
groups
that
you
like
to
share
things
with
I'd
appreciate
it,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
take
them.
A
I,
don't
have
any
questions
but
I
know
in
Shiloh.
We
really
do
appreciate
the
fact
that
Asheville
alert
that
system
and
about
the
services
that
the
city
provided.
Finally,
we
didn't
have
water
and
they
because
Shiloh
Center
is
a
hub
for
emergency
assistance
and
some
I
don't
know.
If
all
communities
have
that
plan,
but
maybe
we
need
to
make
sure
that's
accessible
to
them,
so
they
would
know
where
to
go
and
what
resources
to
reach
out
to
in
the
case
of
an
emergency,
because
there
is
something
with
the
fire
department,
the
Red
Cross.
A
So
if
we
can,
we
can,
if
you
can
finally
get
that
full
information
for
us
for
the
different
areas,
because
it's
a
way
of
house
food
will
be
stored.
It's
it's
a
big
plan
because
they
realize
that
FEMA
would
take
two
or
three
days
to
get
in,
and
so
what
we
need
is
people
would
need
emergency
right
now,
assistance,
so
their
place
is
even
for.
A
Is
successful
for
people
to
come
there
if
they
cannot
belong,
live
in
their
homes
because
of
a
disaster?
Shiloh
has
some
things,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
if
we
got
all
that
information
down,
so
we
can
get
that
out
to
the
communities,
so
they
would.
They
would
know
and
so
be
up
to
us
to
make
sure
that
you
know
like
you're
in
2805,
where
to
get
it
over
to
Eastern
Valley
and
get
up.
You
know
to
whatever
areas
that
we
can
get
them
to,
so
they
would
know
so
many
things
have
changed.
A
C
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
was
impressed
by
the
city's
response
and
I
was
very
fortunate.
I
didn't
lose
water
at
all.
I
was
that
little
part
of
West
Nashville
that
was
totally
unaffected,
but
I
did
get
all
of
the
AVL
alerts.
So
I
knew
what
was
going
on.
C
I
was
impressed
that
the
city
was
able
to
deliver
water
to
as
many
places
as
they
were
able
to
and
and
then
they
partnered
with
the
YMCA.
So
people
could
like
take
showers
and
things
and
I
thought
they
did
very
well
at
reaching
out
to
the
partners
in
the
area
to
take
care
of
that.
A
B
B
A
G
A
A
B
E
A
Think
I
know
there
was
one
at
UNCA
and
then
there
was
one
at
didn't
have
to
carry
a
park.
One.
A
That
you
might
be
able
to
okay,
but
if
you
can't,
let
me
know
and
I'll
get
with
somebody
knows
something.
B
A
E
A
And
and
I'm
not
going
to
say
that,
but
in
Brendan
Mills,
that
was
what
else
before
covert
and
what
we
had
just
the
idea
of
what
we
had.
Our
vision
of
that
was
possibly
we're.
Gonna
do
MLK
Park,
but
we
were
going
to
have
every
community
to
have
a
presentation
area
where
they
talked
about
where,
where
they
were,
and
maybe
had
some
things
that
you
know
like
some
communities
have
like
mugs
and.
A
So
that
would
be
something
and
then
maybe
like
West
Asheville
has
the
agriculture
piece
and.
E
A
Would
come
and
bring
some
of
their
some
of
the
things
that
they
have
and
then
we
thought
about
that.
We
were
going
to
have
somewhere
we're
going
to
get.
We
had
some
young
people
that
were
going
to
come
in
and
work
with
young
little
kids,
they
would
have
like
a
bouncy
house
or
something
we
had
some
volunteers,
some
activities
for
them,
because
we
wanted
people
to
feel
like
they
could
go
around
to
all
of
these
places
and
we
would
have
food
trucks
so.
B
A
A
A
You
have
to
have
permits
you
have
to
get
with
the
city
about
the
permits,
the
date
to
make
the
reservations
for
the
area.
All
those
things
you're
going
to
have
to
get.
A
E
E
B
Right
before
covet,
it
was
being
done
and
then,
of
course
we
call
it
hit,
and
then
we
just
stopped
so
there's
just
a
few
things
in
the
Firebox
that
are
left.
Most
of
it
has
been
straightened
up,
be.
B
A
B
And
I
can
send
you
who's.
The
chairman.
A
I'll,
let
you
all
work
on
that
and
I
won't
you'll.
Just
give
a
report
back
to
the
group
of
all
of
you,
this
that
are
working
on
those
different
spaces
and
things.
Okay,
don't
I,
don't
think
if
I
don't
respond,
it's
not
because
I
haven't
read
it.
It
means
that
did.
E
A
E
B
A
H
H
Thanks
for
having
me
members
of
the
committee
staff
guests,
people
are
watching
online
I'm,
Jamie
wine
and
I
work
for
Greenbelt
Alliance,
where
we're
taking
bold
action
for
sustainable
communities
as
a
non-profit
in
town,
and
we
are
the
host
of
the
blue
Horizons
project,
which
is
funded
by
the
city
and
the
county
jointly,
and
we
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
the
coming
climate
crisis
and
how
we're
facing
it
outside
of
the
city
and
the
county
efforts.
So
this
is
everybody
else,
which
is
why
I
came
and
talked
to
y'all.
H
So
the
goal
here
is
to
reach
100
renewable
energy
in
the
county
by
2042..
Right
now,
we're
at
about
five
percent,
so
we've
got
a
ways
to
go,
and
that
means
we
can
pick
up
any
low-hanging
fruit
and
opportunities
as
they
come,
and
the
blue
Horizons
project
is
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
is,
is
part
listening
so
hearing
what
people
want
and
what
they
need
and
then
also
going
back
out
with
technology
and
infrastructure
and
the
whole.
H
The
inflation
reduction
act,
resources
that
are
coming
through
and
helping
apply
those
to
places
and
communities
where
they're
needed
the
most.
H
So
the
program
of
blue
Horizons
itself
has
identified
three
key
areas
to
do
this:
it's
Greening
the
grid,
Electrify
everything
and
embrace
the
efficiency.
So
there's
a
community
council
that
has
set
those
goals,
there's
13
people
on
the
community
council
and
they
meet
once
a
month
plus
there's
different
committees,
but
it's
funded
by
the
city
of
Asheville
and
and
the
county
and
then
Duke
Energy
also
has
been
a
strong
participant
in
the
process
and
they
have
a
seat
on
the
council
as
well.
H
So
it's
a
collaborative
effort
to
find
the
best
way
to
get
to
that
100
renewable
energy
goal,
so
the
blue,
Horizons
Project
work
is
split
into
a
few
Key
Program
areas
and
I
want
to
talk
to
the
to
you
about
those
tonight,
both
y'all
and
the
audience
here
today.
The
committee
members,
but
folks
that
are
listening
at
home
because
we
need
to
go
out
and
get
the
word
out
as
much
as
possible.
That's
that
community
outreach
piece
so
at
the
end,
I'm
gonna,
be
like
hey
y'all
should
have
me.
H
Come
give
a
talk
about
some
of
this
stuff
at
your
own
groups,
your
churches,
at
Rotary
clubs,
at
places
where
people
are
meeting.
So
we
can
talk
to
as
many
folks
as
possible,
but
there's
really
four
key
or
three
key
elements
that
last
one
has
some
extra
pieces
to
it,
but
there's
Energy
Savers
Network,
there's
neighborhood
neighbor
solar.
We
have
the
community
council
and
then
within
that
there's
different
committees
that
are
working
in
different
parts
of
this.
H
So
the
first
one
is
the
Energy
Savers
Network.
We
served
over
100
850
homes
total
over
all
the
years
that
we've
been
doing
this,
but
we
do
about
200
homes
per
year
and
we
go
out
to
folks
that
are
below
the
200
federal
poverty
guideline.
We
do
some
basic
weatherization
at
their
house.
So,
like
light
bulbs,
water
measures,
air
sealing
and
you
might
say
water
measures.
Why
is
that?
Well,
we
have
to
heat
our
water
right.
So
there's
energy
in
that
it's
not
just
saving
the
water.
H
It's
saving
the
Heat,
the
energy
that
goes
into
heating,
that
water,
but
it
helps
folks
save
money
over
the
long
term.
It's
not
just
a
one-time
utility
assistance,
it's
trying
to
get
their
bills
down
every
year
and
we
find
that
folks
save
somewhere
around
around
200
180
dollars
per
year,
but
the
lifespan
of
those
is
over
multiple
years,
so
you
can
see
dramatic
Savings
in
people's
bills
over
time,
so
it
does
that,
but
also
helps
people.
People
be
comfortable.
H
Today,
in
a
staff
meeting,
we
heard
a
story
about
how
someone
had
moved
their
kids
out
of
their
room
into
the
parents
room,
because
that
was
the
warm
room
in
the
house
we
went
in
did
some
work
for
a
day
with
some
volunteers
and
a
crew
leader,
and
they
moved
their
beds
back
into
the
Children's
Home
a
children's
room,
because
it
was
more
comfortable
so
stories
like
that.
This
is
improving
people's
lives
in
tangible
ways
beyond
their
energy
bill.
It
also
affects
their
comfort
and
their
feeling
of
being
at
home
that
that
security.
H
Another
program
that
we're
doing
with
arpa
funds
is
going
out
and
installing
16
systems
solar
systems
on
low-income
folks
house,
we've
done.
Excuse
me,
we've
done
about
I!
Think
we've
done
four
so
far,
but
we
just
started
in
December
and
we're
partnering
with
Sugar
Hollow
solar,
who
is
a
local
installer
in
town.
They
want
to
RFP
for
this
project.
H
This
is
kind
of
a
difficult
clientele
to
find
because
they
have
to
be
low
income,
but
the
roof
condition
and
orientation
can
be
really
difficult
to
match
up.
So
this
one
it's
been
slow
going,
but
we're
starting
to
find
some
folks
to
do
that.
H
We,
the
next
piece
of
what
we're
working
on
Blue
Horizons
project,
is
events
and
Community
engagement
with
covid
being
less
of
a
concern
than
it
was
before,
where
in
person
a
lot
more
than
we
were
in
2020
and
2021,
when
it
was
a
lot
online
which
there's
a
digital
divide
like
you've
got
to
go
in
person.
You've
got
to
talk
to
people
in
in
real
time
for
this
kind
of
stuff,
and
so
we're
really
happy
to
be
back
out
there
in
the
community.
H
So
this
is
the
piece
that
I
would
talk
about.
Most
I
would
probably
not
talk.
I
probably
have
one
slide
for
all
that
other
stuff.
But
if
I
came
out
to
your
community
group,
I
would
focus
on
what
folks
to
do
at
their
house.
So
if
they
don't
qualify
for
Energy
Savers
Network
the
200
federal
poverty
guidelines,
there
are
a
few
ways
that
folks
can
get
involved
in
their
own
house
programs
to
support
them.
H
The
first
one
and
the
last
one
Duke
Energy
has
an
Energy
Efficiency
programs
that
are
available
if
you
have
a
Duke
Energy
bill.
So
this
wouldn't
count
for
the
French
Broad
Co-Op,
but
other
the
folks
that
most
of
which
are
Duke,
Energy
Progress
could
qualify
for
the
home
energy
house.
Call
someone
comes
to
their
house
in
person
and
walks
around
and
sees
what's
going
on
and
gives
them
an
assessment
for
free
if
they
do
work
at
their
house.
H
Some
of
it's
free,
some
of
it's
low,
cost
some
of
it's
kind
of
expensive,
and
so
it
gives
them
kind
of
a
menu
of
options.
They
can
choose
from
and
decide
what
they're
going
to
do
and
what
their
pathway
is
and
I
like
to
joke
at
the
office.
This
is
a
lot
like
going
to
the
dentist.
No
one
really
wants
to
do
it,
but
then
you
do
it
and
you
feel
better
and
so
helping
folks
get
over
that
threshold.
H
Make
the
phone
call
and
make
things
happen
is
part
of
part
of
what
this
program
is
about.
The
other
one
is
doing
it
yourself
and
I
really
wanted
to
get.
There's
a
there's,
a
ridiculous
video
It's
called
seal.
It
yourself
siy,
and
this
is
cute
little
seal
anyway.
You
can
put
it's
on
YouTube,
but
you
can
do
a
lot
of
this
stuff
yourself.
H
So
if
you
go
go
online
and
find
some
ways
to
be
Energy
Efficiency
at
your
own
home,
it's
pretty
cost
effective
and
there
are
some
retail
savings
at
stores
that
are
instant
rebates,
that
folks
get
for
light
bulbs
and
things
like
that,
and
then
the
last
one
is
the
energy
wise
home
program
and
I.
Don't
know
if
you
all
remember
the
energy
Innovation
task
force.
That
was
the
first
iteration
of
the
blue
Horizons
project.
H
It
was
to
stop
a
peak
or
plant
from
being
built,
which
is
talking
about
system-wide
energy
use
and
our
our
energy
use
as
a
community.
The
energy-wise
program
does
that
by
installing
a
little
device
in
people's
houses
that
helps
cycle
on
and
off
equipment
during
really
tough
peak
times,
I
took
that
slide
out
because
it's
kind
of
Technical
and
I.
H
So
folks
can
still
participate
in
that
program
as
well
to
support
everybody
in
the
community,
reducing
our
energy
load,
if
you
don't
know
where
to
start
Greenbelt
Alliance
hosts
home
energy
chess
through
this
program
and
it's
a
phone
call
or
a
zoom
call
with
an
expert
on
our
staff.
It's
either
me
or
another
another
person,
and
we
will
talk
The
person
through
what's
happening
in
their
house
and
then
we'll
help
refer
them
onto
what
they
can
do
for
their
specific
house.
So
they
can.
A
lot
of
folks
are
like
I've
done
all
sorts
of
stuff.
H
What
else
can
I
check
off
the
box,
and
so
we
can
go
through
that
with
you
or
if
we're
just
starting
at
the
beginning,
and
you
don't
know
what
to
do.
We
can
point
you
in
the
right
direction
for
the
highest
bang
for
your
buck.
How
much
you
can
save
the
most
by
by
spending
the
least
amount
of
money,
and
then
the
other
pieces
to
the
blue
Horizons
project
are
these
committees
that
are
working
on
different
pieces.
This
is
the
group.
H
The
100
renewable
energy
committee
is
trying
to
figure
out
the
mix
that
we
should
do
to
get
to
that
100
Renewables.
Where
can
we
put
solar
power?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
Embrace
efficiency?
What
does
green
green
in
the
grid
look
like?
So
this
is
a
very
technical
aspect
of
it.
H
H
So
if
there's
folks
and
y'all's
groups-
or
you
all
have
energy
expertise,
then
being
part
of
the
subcommittee
is
open
to
the
public
and
we
encourage
folks
to
join
I
tried
to
recruit
a
tree
person
the
other
day
and
they're
like
that's,
not
energy
I'm
like
yeah,
but
the
solar
and
the
tree,
people
they're,
always
you
know
competing
with
each
other,
let's
find
a
way
to
work
together.
So
this
is
a
place
to
find
those
common
Solutions.
H
If
you
want
to
know
more,
this
is
the
website
to
go
to.
You
can
email
us
that'll
come
to
me.
The
info,
blue,
horizonsproject.com
and
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
this
is
funded
by
the
city
and
it's
for
the
people
of
the
city
so
do
participate,
do
take
part
because
it's
something
we
all
need
to
solve
together.
C
The
federal
poverty
level
is
about
13
600
for
an
individual
27.75
for
a
family
of
four.
So.
C
B
H
C
B
H
D
Well,
your
presentation
is
very
a
house
and
home
oriented
Yep.
This
is
great
fantastic,
but
you
did
show
a
photo
with
me
and
which
looked
like
a
solar
farm
and
I
was
curious
at
on
the
bigger
picture
here.
D
H
H
But
there's
you
know,
I
think
the
our
biggest
opportunities
on
that
front
are
actually
utility
scale.
It's
more
like
commercial,
like
large
commercial
buildings.
Getting
you
know,
100
kilowatt
projects,
that
kind
of
thing,
and
then
the
city
itself
has
its
own
goals
and
things
that
it's
working
on,
like
Greening
the
fleet
and
things
like
that
and
finding
some
good
projects
like
the
the
airport
Expansion
Project,
where
we
we
live.
The
values
that
we've
stated
are
important
places
where
we
can
make
an
impact.
B
Which
brings
me
to
the
Electrify
everything
where
I
live.
We
can't
do
it
other
than
the
trees
and
I
have
to
bring
in
a
gas.
City
doesn't
have
gas
where
I
live
and
so,
and
so
never
electricity
and
baseboard
heaters
are
much
more
expensive
than
why
I
put
propane
and
where
I
live,
because
it
was
a
lot
more
cost
effective.
H
Yeah,
the
the
technology
for
the
heat
pumps,
the
cold
weather
heat
pumps,
has
gotten
a
lot
better
and
with
the
inflation
reduction
act,
there's
a
lot
of
incentives
to
be
able
to
install
a
heat
pump
instead
of
a
gas
furnace.
The
other
piece
is
cooking
people
really
like
to
cook
on
a
gas
stove
and
so
those
internal
combustion
appliances.
If
we
don't
get
them
out
of
people's
houses,
then
we'll
never
get
to
100
renewable
because
we'll
be
burning
fossil
fuels
at
our
houses.
H
It
also
has
Health
impacts,
building
burning,
fossil
fuels
in
our
houses,
even
the
best
stove
still
put
off
gases
and
neural
homes
that
aren't
necessarily
the
safest
thing
for
our
house.
H
The
the
thing
I
like
to
talk
about-
and
this
is
tough
on
our
retrofit,
but
if
you're
thinking
about
replacing
a
furnace
if
you're
replacing
a
furnace,
if
you
get
a
cold
weather
heat
pump,
you're
installing
one
system,
so
you
have
an
air
conditioned
in
the
in
the
summertime
and
you
have
heat
in
the
winter
with
a
heat
pump
system,
and
so
you
don't
have
to
have
the
air
conditioning
and
the
furnace.
H
B
H
They're
expensive,
but
the
incentives
help
a
lot
and
you're
right
and
the
technology
has
come
a
long
way
in
like
the
last
10
years,
and
every
year
is
a
little
better,
so
I
struggle
with
that
too.
I
have
some
propane
at
my
house
too,
so
I
understand,
I
had
a
I
was
at
a
presentation
once
and
someone
was
like
you
gotta
get
rid
of
your
gas
stove
and
then
she
goes,
but
I
also
have
one
and
it's
like.
Well,
you
know
you
got
to
take
the
wins
where
you
can
get
them
as
you
go
along.
H
H
There's
challenges
there
too,
because
you
have
issues
with
electric
panels:
there's
money
in
the
inflation
reduction
act
for
that
to
help
out
like
if
you
have
a
gas
water
heater,
switching
over
there's
a
little
bunch
of
electrical
work
to
do
and
then
they're
all
a
little
taller.
They
can
be
a
little
loud
because
it's
like
basically
having
an
air
conditioner
on
top
of
the
like
a
compressor
on
top
of
your
water
heater.
So
it's
got
to
be
like
in
a
in
like
a
closet
or
a
garage,
or
something
like
that.
H
So
there's
things
that
we're
up
against
that
are
definitely
technical
challenges
that
the
committee
is
working
on,
and
so
when
they
are
like
we're
gonna
do
these
three
things:
Electrify
Everything
Green
the
grid
and
Brace
efficiency.
It's
like
well,
one
of
those
is
a
lot
easier
than
the
other.
Two
like
embracing
efficiency
is
I,
think
something
we
can
all
work
on
with
light
bulbs
and
stuff,
but
Electrify
everything
and
grinning.
The
grid
are
a
little
tougher.
G
G
Terms
of
the
I
was
sorry
in
terms
of
Duke's
partnership
here
in
the
energy-wise
program.
I'm
going
to
say
this
because
I
think
very
aware
that
there's
a
lot
of
scams
that
people
use
the
logos
of
companies.
H
G
H
H
I,
don't
I
haven't
seen
it
so
I,
don't
think
it's
a
scam,
but
so
the
energy-wise
program
is
a
Duke
program.
You
sign
up
and
then
they
do
send
you
cash
or
gift
cards
as
a
payment
for
being
part
of
the
program
and
it's
a
device
that
they
install
on
your
water
heater
or
your
compressor
outside
and
it
Cycles
on
and
off
during
cold
weather.
So
it'll
do
15
minutes
on
15
minutes
off
to
relieve
the
pressure
on
the
grid,
but
you
still
get
the
service
from
the
appliance.
H
So,
like
imagine,
there's
you
know
10
000
people
on
this
5
000
are
off
for
15
minutes.
Five
thousand
are
on
and
then
so
basically
halves
the
demand
from
those
homes,
and
so
they
say
thank
you
for
helping
us
reduce
the
demand
on
the
grid
for
everybody,
and
so
here's
some
payment
for
doing
that.
So
it
is,
it
is
a
legit
program,
but
the
ones
you're
getting
in
the
mail
I
hope
I
mean
because
we
do
free,
solar
and
so
people
are
like,
oh
well
hold
on.
D
G
H
So
the
assessment,
the
energy
wise
program,
is
the
device
on
your
equipment
and
so
Duke
will
come
and
install
it,
but
the
other
program,
the
the
home
Energy
Savers,
one
that
one
they
come
to
your
house
and
do
like
kind
of
assessment
of
what's
going
on.
So
it's
different
they're,
separate
programs,
but
they're
both
run
by
duke
or
subcontractors
of
Duke.
B
B
They
put
it
down
next
to
my
water
heater,
which
is
in
my
basement,
and
then
they
reimburse
me
on
my
bill,
which
I'm
going
to
see
because
I
never
looked
at
my
bill
automatically
somewhere
at
the
end
of
the
year.
They
take
their
costumes
and
they
put
it
in
my
so
I
didn't
think
it
was
real,
but
I've
had
it.
For
four
years
now,
okay
I've
had
hot
water
when
I.
E
G
C
I
have
a
follow-up
question
now,
based
on
that,
so
the
energy-wise
program.
Obviously
it
goes
on
the
appliances
that
are
in
the
house
and,
as
we
know,
in
Asheville
we
have
a
lot
of
rental
properties,
and
so
how
do
we
or
or
do
we
connect
with
homeowners?
To
do
that
and
then
the
people
who
are
renting?
Are
they
going
to
get
the
cost
savings.
H
H
It's
like
the
million
dollar
question.
I
got
the
split
incentive
between
who
owns
a
house
and
who
operates
the
house
or
who
owns
the
building
and
operates
the
business
right,
and
so
in
these
particular
instances
the
the
tenant
can
get
permission
from
the
landlord
for
that
kind
of
thing,
but
I've
had
a
landlord
before
we
know
how
that
goes.
H
Sometimes
it's
not
always
the
best
relationship
or
the
a
person
who's
thinking
fully
about
the
health
of
the
building
that
their
tenants
are
living
in
they're,
just
looking
at
that
monthly
check,
so
that
it
can
be
dicey.
As
far
as
like
managing
that
relationship,
we
do
serve
tenants
when
we
can
and
the
the
homeowner
or
the
landlord
lets
us,
but
sometimes
that
it
is
a
limit
not
being
able
to
do
it.
I
And
good
evening,
everyone
for
those
of
you
that
I
haven't
met
nice
to
meet
you
Rachel
Wood.
Up
until
today,
I
was
able
to
say
I'm
the
new
assistant
city
manager,
but
today
I've
been
with
the
city
for
a
whole
year.
So
I
can't
say
that
anymore.
Today
is
my
one
year
anniversary.
So
what
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
today
is
a
brand
new
city
council
committee.
I
So
back
in
November,
the
city
council
reassessed
their
current
committee
structure
when
I
say
Council
committee
I'm
talking
about
the
six
committees
that
are
subsets
of
the
city
council,
not
advisory
boards.
The
city
council
made
a
decision
to
merge
the
previous
governance
and
finance
and
HR
committee,
so
that
new
committee
is
called
the
policy
finance
and
HR
committee,
and
that
freed
up
a
slot
to
have
the
city
council
have
another
committee
that
was
directly
aligned
with
several
of
their
current
strategic
priorities.
I
So
the
city
council
decided,
at
their
November
meeting,
to
establish
a
new
committee
that
equity
and
engagement
committee
and
they
actually
had
their
first
meeting
last
Tuesday
and
one
of
the
equity
and
engagement
committee
members
council,
member
Roni,
is
with
you
this
evening.
So
for
me,
as
a
local
government
nerd,
it
was
really
cool
to
be
able
to
start
a
brand
new
Council
committees,
usually
you're.
Just
inheriting
a
structure,
that's
been
in
place
for
a
long
time,
so
a
very
forward
thinking
of
our
Council
to
be
a
little
more
dynamic
in
their
committee
structure.
I
Moving
forward,
so
I'll
give
you
just
a
few
key
takeaways
and
then
I'll
get
into
the
scope
of
that
Council
committee
and
primarily
want
to
talk
to
this
committee
or
this
this
advisory
committee
about
the
council
committee,
because
you
have
a
natural
tie
to
a
lot
of
the
work.
That's
within
the
scope
of
this
committee,
and
we
want
to
look
at
potentially
having
more
direct
ties
between
citizen
advisory
committees
and
Council
committees
moving
forward.
I
So
the
equity
and
engagement
committee
was
created
to
ensure
equity
and
the
provision
of
City
resources
and
livelihood
needs
of
the
entire
Community.
The
committee
is
comprised
of
three
council
members
and
is
scheduled
to
meet
on
the
third
Tuesday
of
the
month
at
1
pm.
That,
of
course,
is
dynamic
based
on
holidays,
as
well
as
city
council
member's
availability.
I
I
We
go
just
needed
to
touch
the
mouse
for
a
second
I
am
the
primary
liaison
from
a
staff
perspective,
and
then
we
do
have
a
host
of
items
as
you'll
see
some
of
our
draft
work
plan
items
in
a
moment,
but
the
two
primary
Department
directors
who
will
be
serving
as
Liaisons
in
addition
to
myself
are
dawa
hitch
uh-oh.
Maybe
it's
a
connection.
E
I
C
C
C
I
Their
bulleted
list
so
you're
not
missing
anything
too
exciting
that
I
can't
cover
verbally,
if
you're,
okay,
with
it
I'll,
go
ahead
and
continue
going
through
the
slides
and
then
you
know,
I
can
I
can
rewind
if
there's
anything
that
I
cover
too
quickly.
I
So
back
in
November,
whenever
this
new
committee
was
established,
one
of
the
things
that
council
did
was
provide
updated
scopes
for
all
six
of
the
city
council
committees.
Oh,
we
had
just
a
moment
a
glimmer
of
the
slide,
but
it
went
away
again
and
so
happy
to
share
that
with
this
committee.
It's
also
available.
If
you
look
at
the
November
15th
city
council
materials,
the
Scopes
of
all
six
of
the
council
committees
was
established
and
really
want
to
thank
city
council,
as
well
as
the
city
clerk's
office.
I
So
the
scope
of
the
equity
and
engagement
committee,
as
adopted
back
in
November,
is
to
review
policy
updates
and
make
policy
recommendations
that
ensure
fairness
and
equity
in
the
provision
of
City
resources
and
livelihood
needs
of
all
community
members
and
groups,
and
an
equitable
community
that
provides
community
members
with
an
opportunity
to
be
informed
and
engaged
in
the
policy
making
process,
and
especially
on
that.
Second,
one
I
see
that
being
a
direct
tie
to
the
work
that
this
committee
does
in
making
sure
that
neighborhoods
are
aware
and
have
that
connective
tissue
back
to
the
city.
I
A
few
of
them
include
reparations
racial
healing
grants,
neighborhood
matching
grants,
strategic
partnership,
Investments
that
are
funded
through
the
city,
strategic
partnership
fund,
lgbtq
plus
policy
considerations,
and
then
engagement
tools
and
Technologies,
as
well
as
engagement
initiatives,
a
lot
of
those
policy
considerations
and
upcoming
presentations.
We
have
on
that
will
be
provided
by
dawa
and
the
cape
team.
I
But
that's
just
to
give
you
kind
of
a
flavor
of
the
types
of
policy
topics
that
we're
planning
to
bring
forward
to
this
new
Council
committee
city
council,
at
their
annual
Retreat
every
year,
adopts
what
are
called
strategic
priorities
and
that's
their
key
areas
of
focus
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year.
So,
for
the
current
fiscal
year
that
we're
in
there
are
six
strategic
priorities
and
they
include
improve
and
expand
core
Services
costlessness
strategies,
Equitable
and
affordable
housing
and
stability,
reimagining
Public
Safety,
as
well
as
neighborhood
resilience
and
reparations.
I
So
we
are
working
on
establishing
work
plans
for
all
of
the
council
committees,
and
this
is
just
to
help
with
that
facilitated
Advanced
planning
and
also
to
make
sure
that
the
work
of
staff
is
aligned
with
council's
priority
vision
for
the
organization.
So
as
we're
working
on
developing
that
draft
work
plan,
I'll
just
give
you
some
a
sampling
of
some
of
the
work
plan.
I
Topics
that
we're
looking
at
at
the
February
21st
equity
and
engagement
committee
meeting
we're
going
to
have
a
more
detailed
discussion
with
committee
members
about
draft
work
plan
topics
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
at
least
get
that
first
draft
in
in
a
good
state,
so
that
staff
can
start
preparing
for
future
meetings.
So
some
of
the
topics
that
we've
discussed
include
an
update
on
arpa
funding
for
technology
that
will
assist
with
hybrid
meetings
and
Community
engagement,
Academy
we're
going
to
have
standing
agenda
items
with
updates
on
the
reparations
commission.
I
There
also
looking
at
using
this
committee
to
talk
through
the
disparity
study
and
then
some
updates
on
our
national
Community
survey
and
a
bi-annual
report
on
analytics
language
and
accessibility.
So
we
did
get
some
other
feedback
at
last
week's
meeting,
and
so
staff
right
now
is
working
on
revising
that
draft
work
plan
and
that
will
be
published
with
the
materials
for
the
February
meeting
and
then
we'll
have
more
detailed
discussion
at
that
February
21st
meeting
with
the
committee
to
hopefully
lock
in
that
work
plan.
I
We
have
a
few
other
topics
that
we
haven't
really
decided
where
we're
going
to
plug
them
in
in
the
work
plan
and
examples
of
those
include
ADA
compliance,
lgbtq
plus
policy
considerations,
as
well
as
an
overview
of
some
of
the
work
that
the
equity
and
engagement
department
is
doing.
On
policy,
Equity
they're,
doing
some
policy,
Equity
analysis
and
looking
at
Key
policies
across
the
city
and
doing
a
detailed
overview
of
how
Equitable
those
policies
are
both
in
their
development
as
well
as
in
their
application.
I
And
so
that's
something
that
Brenda's
team,
Brenda
Mills
team
is
going
to
present
on
in
the
future.
So,
as
I
mentioned
next
month's
meeting,
February
21st
is
when
we're
going
to
hopefully
be
able
to
have
that
first
draft
of
the
work
plan
finalized
so
that
we
can
begin
preparing
for
upcoming
meetings.
I
So
with
that
I
know,
I've
been
having
conversations
with
dawa
around
this
committee,
potentially
providing
updates
on
your
annual
report
and
then
having
that
direct
connection
to
this
Council
committee.
So
all
of
this
is
brand
new
and
we're
we're
definitely
piloting
it
but
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
also
welcome
any
feedback
that
you
have
given
your
experience
being
on
this
committee,
as
well
as
other
City
advisory
committees
on
how
staff
can
help
facilitate
that
connection
between
Council
committees
and
advisory
committees.
I
B
Have
any
questions?
No
thank
you
comments,
but
I
think
having
a
councilwoman
ronias
are
liaison
on.
This
will
help
us
and
if
we
get
the
link
with
our
meeting
minutes
on
the
presentation
and
then
because
our
Kim
is
really
great
on
updating
us
with
information
all
the
time
fighting
out
where
they're
actually
wanting
what
they're
actually
want
to
see
from
us
in
these
interim
reports,
because
we
have
a
list,
and
so
there
may
be
some
things
on
that
list
that
are
more
pertinent
than
others.
She
always.
H
J
So
I
would
I
would
add
to
that
in
saying
that
as
an
elected
official
and
your
neighbor
I
can't
do
my
work
without
recommendations
of
groups
like
yours,
so
you're
guiding
our
work
and
I'm
really
excited
about
the
equity
engagement
Committee
of
council,
because
now
a
neighborhood
can
have
neighborhood
advisory
committee
has
somewhere
to
go.
So
it's
going
to
help
to
streamline
those
Communications
and
make
sure
the
work
gets
elevated.
So
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you
do
and
the
work
plans
that
you
set.
J
The
experience
that
you
bring
to
this
conversation
informs
my
work.
We
are
still
building
out
the
work
of
the
subcommittee
of
council,
so
if
you
have
some
specifics
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
the
full
Council
or
me,
as
your
liaison
and
I'd
love,
to
hear
that.
E
A
A
I
So
that's
where
we're
wanting
to
that's
a
great
question
and
you're
spot
on.
It
is
a
very
broad
scope
and
that's
why
we're
so
appreciative
of
the
city
council,
as
well
as
the
city
clerk's
office,
on
the
work
that
they
did
to
provide
us
at
least
those
prompts
of
the
policy
topics
that
we
can
start
framing.
What
that
work
plan
is,
as
council
member
Roni
just
articulated
we're
kind
of
working
through.
I
How
do
we
get
engagement
from
the
community
so
that
we
know
we're
focusing
on
the
right
policy
topic
areas
that
we're
focusing
on
what
are
the
top
priorities
of
the
community
and
that's
where
we're
wanting
to
improve
this
connective
tissue
between
the
council
committees
and
the
work
of
the
advisory
boards?
The
Advisory
boards
were
established
to
provide
that
Community
feedback,
and
so
that's
where
one
we're
wanting
to
have
those
improved
touch
points
throughout
the
year.
Not
just
reporting
on
your
annual
report,
which
is
a
start.
I
We've
been
piloting
a
lot
of
this
work
with
ahac
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
in
the
work
of
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee,
and
we've
been
really
successful
through
having
an
Engaged
Council
liaison,
also
having
staff
make
sure
that,
as
they're
presenting
their
recommendations
to
that
city,
council
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee
they're,
very
specific
on
the
discussion
that
was
had
with
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
and
and
Sasha
vertunski
who's
who's
now
running,
affordable
housing
for
the
city.
She
does
a
really
nice
job
of
laying
out.
I
This
is
what
I
heard
from
the
committee,
and
then
this
is
staff's
recommendation
and
if
there
are
differences,
she's
very
intentional
in
talking
about
the
difference
between
what
was
recommended
by
the
committee
and
what
was
recommended
by
staff
and
the
chair
and
vice
chair
have
also
started.
Providing
public
comment
more
than
anything
at
the
council
committee
meetings
just
so
that
they
can
either
voice
support
or
provide
additional
contacts
related
to
the
discussions
that
that
advisory
committee
has.
A
A
A
Okay:
let's
go
to
the
next
member
information.
Sharing
it
lives
with.
We
have
missed
you
this
multimodal
Transportation.
Do
you
have
a
report.
G
I
have
a
sort
of
an
informal
report.
The
the
November
and
December
meetings
were
combined
and
the,
and
we
in
the
meeting
that
was
scheduled
for
this
week
was
canceled
for
committee.
However,.
G
December
really
focused
on
a
lot
of
they're
they're,
hoping
to
combine
and
streamline
several
of
the
Committees
that
are
working
on
various
aspects
of
transportation
and
combine
some
of
those
into
one
called
the
active
active
transportations:
the
Greenways,
the
bikeways
The
Pedestrian.
G
G
Those
of
you
that
travel
between
Biltmore
Village
and
the
West
Asheville
carrier
Park,
which
broad
have
noticed,
probably
that
that
section
of
Road
and
Meadow
Road
and
boy
Road
they've,
actually
now
repaved
and
drawn
in
the
bike
Lanes
and
as
a
biker
that
bite
that
before
the
bike
lanes
were
in
it's
fantastic.
So.
H
G
Of
that
meeting
was
spent
talking
about
the
mayor,
Monroe
diet
and
all
of
the
comments,
and
we
had
a
couple
of
presentations
about
that
and
where
that's
going.
So
that's
what
we
have
I.
G
E
A
G
G
Well,
it's
interesting
that
we're
talking
about
sort
of
equity
and
neighborhood
association
and
how
those
interface,
because
one
of
the
things
I
kept
bringing
up
at
mmtc
the
last
few
meetings
was
so
many
of
the
projects
were
happening
in
in
West,
Asheville
and
North,
Asheville
and
being
able
to
say:
okay,
we're
the
south
and
east
and
what's
being
connected
with
priority
list,
and
so
that
was
a
point
of
discussion
as
well,
and
so
I
was
pleased
to
see
that
that
is
now.
C
B
We
are
real
close
to
getting
an
urban
Forester
and
we're
all
really
excited
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
and
they
haven't.
Let
us
know
yet
I
keep
waiting
to
get
an
email
that
we
had
somebody
hired,
but
they
said
that
they're
whittling
it
down
and
so
on,
assuming
in
the
next
month,
we'll
have
it
driven
Forester
and
then
hit
the
hit.
The
public
engagement.
B
Let
everybody
know
we're
talking
a
lot
about
equity
and
neighborhoods
that
don't
have
a
lot
of
urban
canopy
and
the
areas
that
are
economically
disadvantaged
neighborhoods
and
how
we
can
plan
to
reforest
those
areas.
South
slope
area
is
got
the
highest
heat
island
effect
of
all
of
Asheville
and
it's
got
the
forest
mountain
tree
canopy
and
it
has
neighborhoods
and
suffer
more
Equitable
issues
than
the
rest
of
our
neighborhoods.
B
We're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
work
that
around
the
type
of
development
sort
of
coming
in,
like
the
South
slope,
read
a
Design
District
they're
doing
and
I've
been
working
with
Eastern
Valley
with
Sasha,
who
was
in
charge
of
this
and
toddle
with
chain.
He
was
left
us
and
now
I'm
doing
Ben
Woody
on
what
the
South
slope
visioning
process
will
be
looking
like
and
that'll
come
to
Council
in
February
and
that
will
be
re-zoning
certain
areas
of
the
South
slope
and
part
of
the
East
End
that
will
affect
tree
plant
Dimitri
canopy.
B
So
there's
a
lot
going
on
and
it
gets
complicated
to
you
know,
sit
here
and
go
to
the
weeds
in
it
and
for
anybody,
that's
listening
and
all
of
us.
If
you're
worried
about
your
neighborhood,
take
a
look,
give
me
send
an
email
and
I
think
everybody
should
be
engaged
in
what's
going
on
in
their
neighborhood
and
with
development,
because
it
affects
us
in
our
Urban
Forest
canopy,
as
well
as
the
neighborhoods.
Don't
never
Inspire
them.
A
B
A
A
question:
are
they
trying
to
combine
South
slope
with
East
End?
They.
B
Were
but
he's
then
pretty
much
said
where
Houston
is
to
be
stand
in
Southwest
slope,
but
with
their
time.
What
they
are
wanting
to
do
is
create
a
development
over
where
Corbin
field
is
and
Biltmore
and
they're
trying
to
make
that
a
gateway
area.
And
it's
going
to
affect
East
and
Valley
I.
Think
they're,
working
in
eastern
Valley
and
east
of
Valley
is
not
against
the
development,
because
we
need
parking
down
there
from
McCormick
field
or
Memorial
Stadium.
It's
how
it
puts
up
to
the
neighborhood
and
South
French
Broad.
B
It's
the
same
way
they're
wanting
to
see
development
in
the
South
French
Broad
area.
But
how
do
you
buffer
your
neighborhood
with
your
homes
from
the
development,
that's
commercial
or
an
excuse?
And
so
they're
talking
about
doing
something
different
with
zoning
and
making
different
zoning?
B
That
will
allow
the
buffering,
because,
when
you
change
from
when
zoning
to
another
zoning,
you
have
to
put
in
a
buffer
of
either
a
buffer
which
is
20
feet
or
a
B
buffered,
depending
on
the
Sony,
which
is
30
feet
and
that's
Greenery,
and
that
takes
up
a
lot
of
space.
And
we
all
know
that
land
is
expensive
and
not
everybody
wants
to
see
trees
in
that
space
But.
B
A
To
ask
is
that
everyone
is
connected
to
a
community,
make
sure
that
you
have
or
get
access
to
a
20,
25
or
2035
plan
which
you
should
be
working
on
now
for
the
I
know,
Eastern
Valley
has
one
Shiloh
is
just
doing
everything
for
2023
20
35.
Excuse
me
make
sure
that
all
of
these
pieces
are
in
what
you're
asking
for
as
far
as
because
believe
me
they're
commercially,
trying
to
come
into
all
of
our
communities,
not
just
one,
but
it's
all
of
them,
but
make
sure
and
I
don't
know.
A
A
It's
not
so.
D
H
E
A
E
B
Yeah,
you
know
I'm
going
to
bring
that
up.
Peter
did
a
28805
of
the
neighborhoods
in
that
28805
and
the
bordering
roads,
quite
a
few
that
were
not
in
touch.
A
But
I
think
that
would
be
the
first
thing
that
we
can
do
for
this
year
to
try
to
help
our
lady,
because
that's
what
we're
about
we're
about
our
communities
and
our
neighborhoods
and
if
we're
being
because
I
know
what
it's
like
to
be
for
them
to
rezone.
Yes,.
A
Your
whole
neighborhood
is
gone
right,
so
if
we
can
do
that
and
see
if
we
can
get
touch
bases
with
those
associations
right.
E
B
A
E
B
Then
it
passes
on
when
I'm
told
about
it
and
I
looked
at
it
in
our
neighborhood
and
saw
how
it
was
going
to
affect
that
neighborhood.
And
so
then
we
it
became
a
discussion
because
it
was
going
to
go
to
council
before
it
had
thorough
discussion
in
the
neighborhood
right
and
that's
what
worries
me
about
a
lot
of.
What's
going
on
to
David
yeah.
A
C
I
haven't
directly
I
did
reach
out
to
all
of
the
associations
to
ask
for
feedback
for
the
annual
report.
I
didn't
hear
back
from
their
Community,
but.
A
Maybe
you
can
just
kind
of
tip
in
to
their
meetings,
because
I
know
a
lot
of
them
on
the
reparations
too
so
kind
of
give
the
idea
and
maybe
ask
them
about
their
20
they're
playing
and
should
go
past
20,
25
I
think
they're
working
on
it,
so
I
think
it's
just
something
to
ask
about,
and
you're
you're
in
Oakland.
Aren't
you
right.
Yeah
and
Oakland
is
doing
really
good,
really
moving
up
and
papa
just
asked
and
then
and
then
Candace
is
over
there.
Don't
they
meet
in
Oakland,
okay,
we've.
A
E
E
A
F
Working
on
it
he's
hoping
to
send
somebody
in
February,
okay,
I'll.
Let
you.
A
B
Meeting
yeah
just
just
a
little
something
yeah,
it's
almost
it's
not
real
complicated,
not
as
bad
as
it
was
the
previous
year.
They
worked
really
hard
on
in
the
last
boards
before
they
turned
off
okay,
so
we
only
had
just
a
few
things.
C
In
our
bylaws
and
I
think
the
the
annual
meeting
and
the
retreat
were
very
like
rigid
in
The
Way
It
Was
Written
in
the
bylaws,
and
so
we
were
going
to
try
to.
A
E
A
They're
all
doing
really
good
with
that
before
we
go
Kim
there
was
anything
that
you
wanted
to
say
we're
glad
to
have
you.
J
Thank
you
for
the
invitation
chairperson,
Mays
I
just
wanted
to
point
out,
because
sometimes
at
the
end
of
the
year,
there's
a
lot
of
moving
and
shifting
in
our
homes
and
we're
working
really
hard
to
reduce
waste
in
our
community
and
things
ending
up
in
the
landfill
so
that
we
have
a
community
partner
event
coming
up
with
Asheville
GreenWorks
hard
to
recycle.
This
Saturday
10
a.m
to
2
p.m.
At
hominy,
Valley,
Elementary
School,
you
can
get
information
at
ashevillegreenworks.org.
I
am
inviting
my
whole
street.
J
We
have
a
Facebook
page
for
our
street
and
so
we're
inviting
people
if
they
can't
go
to
have
a
drop-off
place
and
then
others
will
take
items
so
things
you
can
recycle
it
hard
to
recycle
books
of
all
kinds.
Big
cardboard
shredded
paper,
Electronics
they'll.
They
will
disable
hard
drives
on
site.
So
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
security
issues,
cords,
small
appliances,
batteries,
laptops,
toner
and
print
cartridges,
food
grade,
styrofoam,
that's
clean,
Brita,
water
filters.
You
can't
put
those
in
the
recycle
bin.
You
can
take
them
to
hard
to
recycle.
J
So
a
lot
of
times.
It
becomes
like
a
neighborhood
event
for
us
to
gather
items,
and
it
helps
us
to
not
only
establish
good
Communications
among
the
people
on
our
street,
but
also
think
of
other
ways
that,
when
we're
doing
cleanups
in
our
neighborhood,
some
of
those
bigger
items
like
Styrofoam
can
be
taken
to
these
hard
to
recycle
events
tires.
J
A
Talking
about
and
I
believe
you
so
I
would
like
again
thank
all
the
people
that
okay,
Jamie
and
Rachel
would
appreciate
you
coming
this
evening
and
I
appreciate
all
of
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
appreciate
it.
You
know,
let's
hope
it
doesn't
snow,
so
we
can
meet
in
February,
because
I
will
not
be
here.
A
C
Just
wanted
to
kind
of
make
it
known
to
everyone
here
and
whoever's
watching
that
recently,
the
Asheville
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
renovated
a
bunch
of
fitness,
centers
I
know
at
Stevens
Lee
they
renovated
one
and
they
are
offering
free
memberships
through
June
30th.
So.
